develop naturally. Prune if necessary after blooming which, 
however, reduces the number of berries that year. Most va- 
rieties grow 6 to 8 ft. high. 
Fragrantissima; Winter Honeysuckle. Its very early small 
flowers are so numerous and fragrant they scent the whole 
garden; buds pink, opening creamy-white to blush. Foliage 
half evergreen. Blooms in early March, sometimes February. 
The branches are easily forced into bloom in the house in 
latter January. Seldom fruits. 
Wheeling. A neat, compact shrub of vigorous growth, with 
pretty bright green foliage appearing in early spring and re- 
mdining until late autumn; attains a height of about 8 ft. 
Flowers deep pink, almost red, followed by an abundance of 
red berries. One of the best of the Tartarian varieties.

Hydrangea Hills of Snow; H. arborescens grandiflora 
With the passing of the early spring flowers, this Hydran- 
gea, well named for its profusion of large, globular white 
flower heads, renews the floral display in June, brightening 
a scene that otherwise might fall into summer dullness. Cut 
the blooms off as they turn green and it will bloom a long 
time. In sunny situations the shoots are stronger, though it 
gives good results in partial shade or the north side of the 
building. Pruning nearly to the ground each spring keeps 
the bushes dense and rather round, with a height of 3 to 9 ft. 
The new shoots bear the flowers, and the more they are cut 
back the stronger the growth and the larger the flower heads. 
Give it fertile soil and plenty of water while blooming.

Everbearing Strawberries Bear the First Summer. 
Strawberries during summer and fall are a table delicacy 
always relished. For prices see page 32. 
Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora; Peegee 
It produces the largest flower heads and is one of the most 
showy shrubs of August. The large, compact, cone-shaped 
clusters are white, becoming pale pink with age, the pink 
varying with the season, finally bronzy. Grows 5 to 7 ft. high. 
Pruning in early spring, removing weak shoots and severely 
cutting back the stronger, increases the size of the flower 
clusters; should have a sunny situation, fertile soil and plenty 
of water while blooming.

Lilacs; Syringa 
For fragrance and freedom of bloom in latter April, nothing 
can surpass lilacs. The newer Hybrid varieties bloom young, 
often the year after planting. They are suitable for distant 
effects, for planting in corners or at the boundaries of the 
lawn, as screens, massed in groups and as specimen plants. 
Full sun with good air drainage is best though they will stand 
a little morning and evening shade. Well drained soil, not 
too rich, gives a short-jointed growth that produces an abun- 
dance of flowers. A little pruning each year after blooming 
results in well formed bushes and flowers well placed over 
the entire bush. As the flower buds for next April are formed 
in summer, do not allow them to suffer for lack of water at 
that time.
